Disgusting mess of unbelievable amount of dead blowies left at Keene st jetty
Submitted by tailor marc on Mon, 2011-12-26 22:34
Went for a fish/ crab this arvo and just about fell over with shock and the terrible smell of how many blowies were slaughtered. As much as i hate them i think this is wrong. They have a place in the river ( help keep it clean) and arent an introduced species like some think and to leave them on the jetty like this will only give us all a bad name . Couple pics for yaz....

That sucks.
If the offenders are caught they should be given community service duties with the council cleanup crews, And banned from fishing for good.
Marc, they are not an introduced species, but they still don't really belong there. Before C.Y O'Connor cleared out the limestone and sandbars between 1892-1903 the swan was a fresh water system. Once the port changes were made, it became an estuary and then the blowies came along.

Thats horrifying... Blowies
Thats horrifying... Blowies are like the garbage trucks in the river, the river would be a lot worse without them... and slaughtering that many, or even killing each one you catch like i know a fair few do will not effect anything at all... this is disgusting

Its interesting how the fisherys department say take care of blowys and gently put them back in the water as they have an important job to do in the river but all the rivers in W.A that don't have blowys are doing fine without them.
I do a bit of bream fishing with lures and let all mine go anyway ..

Blowies
Leaving a mess like that is not a good look, but returning blowies to the water????
If this is the catch off ONE jetty then I would suggest these are in plague proportions.
Could have been a couple of kids doing what kids do, let's not be too quick to throw them in irons, and deport them to the colony.......

Two wrongs dont make a right? did you clean it up or just photograph it and make yourself into some hero as to how bad those people were doing that.

Good one dickhead! How the hell is that 2 wrongs? How do you know that i didnt try! and where the f**k were you meant to put them all. Some idiot took the bin away from the jetty. If it were still there i would of cleaned it up. if you knew me you would know that i always do the right thing. I did notify the council. How about you head down there and clean it mate

It's all your fault
Yeah Marc It's all your fault LMFAO , Nice comment Michael .
I'm glad you showed this picture Marc, because its things like this that will shut down the use of fishing platforms for every one. By posting the pictures it might make people think twice before creating such a mess.
I don't like blowies but to leave them in a public place like that is just wrong . As a dog owner i have had problems before with my dog picking up crap like that and getting sick.
The amount of blowies there makes me doubt they were caught by hook and line, I have seen this sort of thing before and usualy is the result of a throw net.

Im sorry Marc, but Im with Mr Yoni on this one. All you have achieved by posting those pictures has made thousands of people aware that there are still dickheads out there that constantly do the wrong thing with no regard for the wider fishing community who ultimately get painted with the same brush. We are far better off doing nothing and looking the other way by sticking our heads up our asses........Perhaps that is why Mr Yoni doesnt '...mine being abused'
Good one Yoni, I can see that you are going to be a lot of fun.
(p.s. incase you didnt notice, Im actually with Mr Russo on this one)

No excuse at all for that kind of shite. Definately the type of ammo the greenies need to feed their anti-fishing campaign. These are the types of wankers that abuse bag limits and have no respect for the marine enviroment.

I don't really see the point
I don't really see the point in NOT throwing blowies back.
As others have said killing a few/a/dozen/a hundred or more makes no difference to their actual numbers.
All you're doing is forcing something into a generally slow and unpleasant death.
I wouldn't do that to anything I was gonna eat, and I sure as hell won't do it to anything I can't eat either.
Just my 2 cents of course, I don't judge others for their preferences. But that level of pointless slaughter is pretty sickening.

i rekon kill them in a humane way. its been a real long time since i caught a bream instead of a fuckn blowie. they're everywhere. At canning bridge theres so many i can pretty much walk on water by using them as stepping stones
its ridiculous.
Find a less painful way to get rid of them and im for it :)

i have absulotely no problem
i have absulotely no problem with people killing blowies, no matter how brutal, cos they're pests, equivalent of a plague of rats, helping the river in no way whatsoever. they may be cleaning the river but at the same time they're supressing the bream population. If the blowies were gone, then the bream population would skyrocket and they would take over the exact same role as the blowies, cleaning the river. I'm all for a blowie cull, but don't leave them on the fucking jetty like that, an easy way to dispose of them perhaps would be a bonfire...

Your profound knowledge of
Your profound knowledge of the swan ecosystem astounds me.......................I'm sure that bream and blowfish are competing for the same food and fill the same ecological niche.
I'm glad your not in charge of river management.
So the blowies clean the river, but they are not doing any good??
No one likes them, but a cull will do sweet fuck all for the bream population. I think we better worry about the big pictures, eg erosion, river run off and salinity.

Nope thats disgusting. No one likes catching blowies but have a bit of respect.
On another note if a dog eats them there is a good chance it will die if it does not get its stomached pumped. So whats been done there is pathetic.

with this sort of thing going on it won't take much for the councils to start closing down these facilities that have given such great enjoyment and an introduction to fishing to young ankle biters.It is up to responsable people to notify the authoritise if you see a pig going about this type of activity the mobile phone is a great tool to be used to stop people doing this type of thing, my money is on kids with crab nets and a big peice of boredum
